Schedule a Skype for Business Meeting using Outlook

Modified on: Mon, 12 Feb, 2018 at 9:05 AM

Most Community Colleges of Spokane (CCS) Staff have Skype
installed on their computers. If you
have never opened Skype, please contact the Support Center at 533-4357 to get
started. Once you have verified your
Skype account you can schedule meetings through Outlook by following the steps
below:

Open Outlook,
and go to your calendar.

On the Home
tab ribbon, in the Skype Meeting section, click New Skype
Meeting.

An alternative approach is to use the New Items option and select Skype Meeting.

Set up the
meeting as you typically would:

In the To
box, type the email address of each person you’re inviting, separated by
semicolons.

In the Subject
box, type a name for the meeting.

If you’ll have
in-person attendees type the location of the meeting that you have
scheduled in 25Live.

Notes:
To look for a time that works for everyone, click Scheduling Assistant,
in the Show section of the Meeting tab ribbon.

In the meeting
area, type an agenda. Be careful not to change any of the Skype meeting
information.

Just
double-check the information and click Send.

Important:
Scheduling a meeting with the default options, like we just did, is suitable
for small, internal meetings, such as casual meetings with a few coworkers. If
you have a meeting with people outside your company, or you’re scheduling a
large event, Skype may not be appropriate.
